Stoops’ message to Watson?

It takes a very dedicated and special person to play an entire game with a torn ACL. Stoops also told Watson that he was impressed with the way he plays the game and that the way he played the South Carolina game was the epitome of dedication and leaving everything on the field.

As the two parted ways, Stoops looked at Watson with a huge smile on his face and said, “I’m really glad I don’t have to see you again.”
